The latest project in trouble?  City Center, the multibillion dollar, multi-hotel/condo/retail resort scheduled to finish construction by the end of 2009.  MGM Mirage’s partner, Dubai World (the investment arm of the Dubai government) failed to contribute their part of the funding due at the beginning of this month.  MGM Mirage covered it.  Oh, and Hooter’s is the latest casino on the trouble list.  If you come to Vegas, better check that one out while it’s still there.  On second thought, don’t bother.  Life is too short.
